Quick Notes from the forest

Leopard Cat (Prionailurus Bengalensis)

In the Sundarbans there are three small cat species, Fishing cat, Jungle cat and Leopard cat, though they are more elusive than the big cat, the Royal Bengal Tigers. Their presence is mainly determined by their frequent foot-print. On the morning of 16 Jan 2017 a rare sighting of a leopard cat (Prionailurus Bengalensis) occurred next to Lawdobe forest office.

27th Jan, tourists on board Mawali encountered about a dozen sets of tiger foot print including few not older than an hour!
